you know with out here let's move on now the leaders of rival palestinian groups fatah and hamas have decided to implement a unity agreement signed two years ago help talks in cairo wednesday and made israeli claims they go say shows we're actually undermining the peace process they say as the easing of tension between the two while factions has already helped to reunite one family in gaza previously torn apart by political strife and policy

reports israeli policies may have prompted both sides to discard their differences but it's been five long years since this family was together one thousand eight hundred days since i'm in a muslim last saw her son his crime belonging to a group the gaza government was opposed to except this time it wasn't the israelis who forced him into exile but hamas that another brand said look i left my family and house in gaza and headed for the west bank but it was only after the negotiations began that seventeen of us were given approval to go back home. it was back in two thousand and seven in a surprise coup that hamas took control of gaza from wyvil faction group fatah one hundred sixty one people were killed and more than seven hundred injured when the dust settled the palestinian people were divided a mass was in charge in gaza fatah called the shots in the west bank hundreds fled their homes from both in fear of their lives my god. a fight of supporters from

gaza mohammed took refuge in the west bank waiting for the day we conciliation would come. all denied i prayed to god to protect my son mohamad i prayed for his safety and asked god to bring him back home safe and now for the first time we conciliation between the two sides looks promising each feels boosted by recent successes and is more willing to compromise hamas is capitalizing on the recent conflict with israel despite the heavy cost for fatah who's claiming victory after president mahmoud abbas successfully upgraded palestinian status at the united nations as hamas and fatah moved closer together the irony is that they getting help from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu his right wing policies and rhetoric are winning the palestinian support and sympathy on the international stage it was on that one young who's watching that as the recent united nations palestinian statehood bid demonstrated european unfailing support for israel has floundered it was also an attorney on whose watch that u.s.

is revelations reached their lowest ebb and now it's on his watch again that palestinian unity seems plausible for her it's a long term interest of a friend starting cooperate again because otherwise they're running the risk that gaza in the west bank will be and probably part of the same political structure which defacto right now is the leaders from both sides have a new day course for the conciliation if you work with them you know we think that of course. between hamas and fatah is a catastrophe it's proof for that doesn't mean peace etc etc but for this family nothing can detract from the feeling of gratitude and joy of a father and son coming home they tears and smiles echoed the hope that a new chapter is also about to open in gaza political life police here r.t. on the israel gaza border. the head of the european union council herman van run poor has visited dublin to mark ireland's presidency of the institution the country

whose own economy was saved by a bailout in twenty ten well now they're trying to tackle any economic nightmare gripping the union with twenty six million people unemployed and robert oulds of the british group think tank feels the visit was all about reinforcing austerity arland has its own economic problems which are. the economic problems which have been happening ever since the euro which created high inflation there and then of course exacerbated the faster they had ready to take on the presidency of the european council is of course very large piece of work not just for the senior politicians in the government but also for many of the civil servants and would be better off spending their time really trying to address arlen's economic difficulties rather than trying to solve the problems within the european union which are very great indeed of course unemployment now in the you is alarmingly high and of course the thing is is that arlen when he says arlen is the reason that

ireland's a poster boy for austerity means that the irish people are not protesting and taking up their white to protest as people in spain and greece have done because we know that austerity at this time point actually work last year in the euro in the single currency it will create more economic problems and that's why we see unemployment across the eurozone rising quite alarmingly so he's very happy that arlen is getting on with the policy of austerity but actually it's actually the wrong policy this time. on the crisis in the eurozone shows no signs of abating the top dogs of the financial world are said to be engaging in covert buying king by delta more bar that secret meetings held in basel a little later look. and listen i'll check some other world news and grieve this hour israel forcefully

as they turned camp which has been into her square for weeks and fired rubber bullets at security forces remains deeply divided by political turmoil since president mohamed morsi granted himself so we've been powers in nation of them but . as the global financial downturn shows little sign of improvement banking regulators have been criticized for trying to make life easier for the learned as instead of the public the basel committee of central bankers has loosened the asset rules which trying while trying to push us. on any future crises but as archie's peter all of a pause this secretive nature of their decision making is what's raising the most question. have you ever heard the wall about the bank is the billions and bars all the chances are you probably haven't but six times a year central bank heads from the u.s. europe asia and everywhere in between representing around three quarters of global

economic output gather in the swiss city to talk shop behind closed doors i personally also don't like these secretive meetings because. you never know what in effect. is discussed in these meetings it's something that has a tradition that's put there play i mean bankers have always talked to each other in a more secretive way the whole business of banking is not really built on transparency but rather on trust and confidentiality the continuing global financial crisis has seen the banking sector firmly in the spotlight with more than a few accusing fingers pointed in the direction of bankers it's the job of the secretive bars all committee to set regulations on banks the chairman of the group says he wants the public to be better informed about the work they do it's not that many years ago since this was basically a group of central banks it's expanded its membership considerably and in the

process of that the whole governance arrangements of have changed as well and i think this is an attempt to explain to you in the world in general what those changes amount to and whether critics of the group are scathing in their criticism of what they see as an old boys' club looking out for the needs of banking bosses as opposed to keeping the industry in line bezel three has failed to meet any objective in the you know faint hope of reining in banks this this is what we talk about today the banks does have to be reined in because the banking system in itself as a general rule has left its you know bottom sense despite mervyn king saying that he wants. people to better understand what the basel committee actually do the very nature of the banking industry and its need for a certain level of secrecy means that the big decisions that will affect people all over the world will continue to be made by

a small group of people we think in that building just behind me peter all over r.t. basel switzerland thousands took to the streets in bahrain on saturday in support of political prisoners and the latest wave of anti-government demonstrations they chief of public security in bahrain terry her son claims protests are part of the democratic process and his interview with r.t. is in a few minutes. usually crime is a plague of the big cities but in a tiny arkansas town of twenty five thousand it is really getting out of hand pure gold is a property crime index of more than double the national average and rape burglary and assault are also way above average poor pergolas a dangerous place to live in but what's the answer to living in constant fear of

criminals well the mayor thinks that the answer to that problem is to live in constant fear of the government how logical the mayor and police chief have a doorstop plan to send out police patrols with a ar fifteen that full swat are too i guess intimidate the local population into submission well actually the plan is for them to stand around it ask people an important question ask them to show id the answer to crime isn't a police state sending guys out with automatic weapons and body armor around just to check people's id like it's the berlin wall or something won't do anything a guy who breaks into your house for crystal meth money isn't going to be affected by this only the good average citizens will have to show an armed thug of their id just to go buy milk but that's just my opinion.

markets why not come to. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on r g. for the last twenty months barring i've been seeing demonstrations and protests in its streets and how is the government dealing with the dissenters we're joined. by the country's chief of security general i think thank you so much for joining us and my first question to you would be what is the current situation the security situation in bahrain and how is the government doing with the protests because i've seen in the papers here and every one television that the protests to take place and how it's the got to dealing with it thank you very much for coming and seeing the. actually as you know behind has been on the reform project since the

last of the twelve we have snow. this has been a vast project and behind it and the reform is actually on all fronts the main or the heart of this project is the democratization of bahrain now protests are actually at the heart of the democracy. but protests will never go if you have a democracy so it's something that we learn and learn to live with this is we talk about protests however riots are what you cannot accept in a democracy and that's when. people come to a protest maybe even a peaceful protest but you would find a group coming for example prion with most of cocktails and other weapons and then they start breaking the law attacking. public cross property or attacking police force that's where you have to intervene and preserve the law but heard many

accusations from the opposition that preserving the law in body has been done with excessive force at times do you agree with that should mean is there any cases of the excessive force being used by police there are three main standards that we use when we deal with any security situation and we have to use force. and the proportionality legality and the city. so in any situation. these three standards are observed now that does not mean that. you won't find anybody that would sometime probably go beyond this that happens and people sometimes break the law either you know. as protesters and rioters or even as members of the police who would go and sometimes maybe go beyond the limit the

legal limit that was given to them or the oldest when this happened and if it happens we have our legal procedures to take care of this and deal with it so people are put to trial and they face the will do you often if a policeman break them or use excessive force do they often get punished yes of course. now as you know we have a enemy but it's been within the ministry of interior who actually is. independent of the public security and answers directly to the minister of interior and this embodiment is in charge of looking into these accusations. abuses by by any member of the public security is the way you like or you know from the opposition that. the torture allegations in prisons and things like that is that all the reality was just made. i mean you know we've had. delegations visiting the prisons and maybe i think you've had

a visit to one of our police stations and i was hoping that he would visit the prison. you know these are allegations they are baseless we have investigated i mean if there is a real. complaint by someone then we would go and investigate and we would take action if we found any basis for that complaint however to act you know to throw accusations in the air i mean you can everybody can say anything but the reality is the evidence is that you know that's not happening and actually why do we need to have any. type of torture if the the public prosecutor is a different or independent entity from the ministry of interior we don't we don't we're not in charge of the full investigation and prosecution in the court of law.

so torture is usually happens in countries where the police need to extract. maybe confessions to go with the case to the court of law we don't have to do this all we have to do is at rest and we have to do the initial inquiry and then the rest of the investigation is done by the public prosecutor so that is something that we are way away from so we you know it's nothing that we have to really. worry about because. you know as i said if you have a complaint please come forward and will investigate it however all the prisons now . are fitted with c.c.t.v. this even the interview rooms and police stations they're all fitted with c.c.t.v. and visual and audio recording and i'm sure if you have visited as i said one of the police stations and now every police station has that so you know. i don't

know how you how would people at a gate how these allegations of torture are made or what but as far as i understand if i got to correct you all the city councils and all the all your records were put in place. because of the allegations of torture so what the cases before it's actually these are actually in response of the recommendations by the b. i.c. i.v. recommendations to the the bahrain international. commission commission. they had recommended a number of recommendations we have actually we've you know the all these recommendations are only part of our. process within the ministry of interior so all that recommendation did was to expects predominate some of the projects that were already had in mind of course any modern police station police service or force today. we rely on modern technology to. not

just protect ourselves but also for better. policing and better vista geisha why are those protests turned violent i mean bahrain has always been a rather peaceful cashel like many countries in the region and what do you think what's behind the radicalization and who stands behind it don't forget that we live i mean we are a small country and the region and. i think the whole world has seen by could always asian in one way or another. no difference and i mean the internet and the open sources today the media they will play a part in this. so you know this wave of radicalization that took place actually made us and actually resulted in more violence on the streets against the police during protests and public gatherings i'm sure but very quickly things will go back as they were however with better restrictions and better knowledge of

limits. and procedures has been a common launching in the media that all this protest is about he said about religious segregation sunny's is that it does have ensured that he suffered that's not true i mean if you ask anybody who lived in bahrain who was behind we have always had a very cosmopolitan country be it in nationalities or even you know religions we have we have almost all the religions or many religions but not just muslims like a sudanese or she has never we never have problems with religious and behave. however as i said aside because. i'm not talking about. radicalized or not anybody can i say sion and any side actually leads to bad things. to violence to. people actually trying to take law by the hands of people thinking that. you know they own they

have the right they hold. that they only have the rights no others have no i think and behind them. we all live together we have the same rights everybody there's no suggestion on the basis of religion or ethnicity or anything else there have been a story or shall we say made lots of noise in the press about doctors who were arrested and detained and some of them even claimed there were tortured. what was the story behind that if you could clarify for. such of the doctors or anybody who commits a crime. would have to face them. in the court of law and behind you can you can if you have any allegations have any complaints you can file them an investigation will take place and that's exactly what happened in this case. doctors have filed complaints and the investigations going on by the court but what are the charges against me with. that is the part of the public prosecutors because they are in

charge as i said of charging and prosecuting in the court of law it's not the police issue but obviously that story as it is that we have picked up from the press brought some additional pressure international pressure in bahrain about the human rights situation the torch allegations everything do you feel that question international pressure as the chief of police don't to be honest i have the law and i follow the law i abide by the rule now if i break the law my. main concern why pressure is from within behind not outside but as i said you know there are people can allocate anything they can they can have their own allegations. however we will investigate if there is a complaint as i said we will investigate them the problem with bahrain is that i think there have been an unfair media complaint against chris.

and i don't know. what the. people come to buy and i have people here in my office i have them here sitting and they say we you know they came from outside they heard something and then when they came to bahrain they saw something totally different and they say you know. it's a totally different story and that's what we see before. you go one report something from behind your disk do as you just did you come to bahrain and you try to report the real story from. my heart from the really just recently from the minister of justice that a new kind of measure to be implemented so that the religious leaders local mosques in local communities will be more. not to start. will this become something of in with legislation will this become a law or it's just a temporary measure to silence the writing of protests or will not about silencing the protests but. i think that question should be addressed to the minister of

justice goes that's that field we has the police if the legislation comes out without a bio. responsible for forcing that law thank you so much for the general this will get all the better for us to get on with your situation.
